The Chief was the major foil to the Covenant at the time, and the only active Spartan in the events of Alpha Halo, Delta Halo, Earth's last stand, and the Ark.
It's conceivable that the events of Blue team on Onyx reached Truth's attention, but let's be serious here dude. He said "demon," which is singular, and we all knew he meant the Master Chief.
Um, yes. Because they got reports stating Master Chief was the last DEMON.
Duh they would refer him to singular. There is no proof, whatsoever they considered him worse then any other.
Oh, another fun fact. The Spartan IIs, for the most part, ALL WORE THE SAME ARMOR. How the hell would they differentiate between two Spartans? The answer. They wouldn't. To them, all demons were the same.
Grey Team wore some custom armor (heavily modified Mark IV if I recall correctly), all other Spartan IIs got Mark V at least, and only Blue Team have the Mark VI. But that's beside the point. The literal interpretation of your point holds, but the implied point that the Covenant wouldn't be able to tell the Chief from any other Spartan is not sustained.
Mostly because of his armor, but mostly because he's the most ubiquitous antagonist the Covenant had to face. The only time the Covenant squared off with Spartans when John wasn't there was in miscellaneous encounters that had tertiary influence on the major events of the Human-Covenant War (i.e: events of Onyx, Blue Team + others on Reach before the Chief showed up to save the day).
Anyways, I wouldn't say the Covenant fear the Spartans--or at least, the Covenant that matter. John engendered the term "demon," but obviously it applies to all Spartans.
You know they didn't get mark 6 until they got on earth right?
And yes the covenant are afraid of spartans, just not the UNSC.
